Robust long-range NWP guidance from ECMWF and GFS ensembles shows high confidence in a significant ridge amplification over Central Europe by May 10, driving potent southerly advection towards Munich. The ECMWF-ENS median for surface temperature is 25.5°C, with a 70% exceedance probability for the 25°C threshold. Deterministic runs of ICON and GFS also align, projecting peak temperatures between 24-27°C. The 850 hPa thermal profile strongly supports this surface warming. 75% YES — invalid if the Azores High shifts west unexpectedly.
